Chapter 708: Chapter 477: Entering the Mountain Fortress_1
“What do you an? Are you trying to disrespect this royal flag and the princess?”
Upon hearing this, Bert’s face turned solemn and he spoke in a deep voice, “Your audacity is truly astonishing.”
“Please forgive , general, I ant no disrespect!”
On the other side, the scout team leader quickly knelt down on one knee again and reported, “General White, three days ago, issued a death order not to allow anyone near the vicinity of the mountain fortress!”
Finishing his words, the scout team leader looked at Bert’s stern eyes and added in a low voice, “Also, we were ordered to shoot anyone found, friend or foe, and if we disobeyed, we would face severe punishnt.”
“What? Why would General White issue such an order?”
Hearing this, Joshua furrowed his brows slightly and said, “Even if the situation is dire, we can’t treat everyone as an enemy, can we?”
“This approach can indeed guarantee the fortress’s safety to the greatest extent, especially in this crucial mont.”
Waving her hand gently, Ariel Watson said to the scout team leader, “Take us with you. As the Coldfla Fifth Princess, I swear that you and your n will not be punished.”
“…Yes, Your Highness.”
After a mont of hesitation, the scout team leader gritted his teeth and nodded, then ordered the surrounding soldiers to inform the nearby outposts and the inside of the fortress.
And thus, in just a short ti, their party proceeded forward again.
Observing the series of events, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
It had to be said, this General White was an extrely cautious person.
Up next, under the guidance of the scout team leader,
The long procession walked for about another hour before the spectacular vista opened up before them.
At this point, Leo Ray noticed that they had already passed through the forest within the mountain range.
Several hundred ters ahead between two mountain peaks, a towering colossal fortress ca into everyone’s view.
Bathed in brilliant sunlight, the fortress standing at the narrow pass appeared to have a square-shape structure. On the left and right sides were cylindrical fortresses, while the middle part was made up of extrely thick walls connecting the cylindrical fortresses together.
At first glance, it seed like towering peaks looming ahead, truly awe-inspiring.
Seeing this, Leo Ray squinted his eyes and continued to observe.
He saw that on top of the walls, red banners representing the Coldfla Army fluttered in clusters, with evenly distributed arrow towers and watchtowers. The shortest height was at least 15 ters, and the tallest height exceeded 20 ters.
Moreover, a giant tal drawbridge had already been raised high.
And around the city gates, there was a sharp abatis, which looked incredibly nacing.
In conclusion, the entire colossal fortress gave an impression of an unbreakable peak, radiating an inviolable aura from every corner.
“No wonder the Saint Night Army has always been wary of this mountain fortress.”
Raising an eyebrow, Leo Ray’s gaze moved from the left and right mountain peaks to observe.
He saw that on both sides of the hillside, there were indeed Coldfla fortresses, though significantly smaller in scale compared to the main fortress.
However, these two smaller fortresses occupied a higher position, with a commanding view, forming a corner-like stronghold with the central mountain fortress. It was indeed a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Especially the two smaller fortresses, located on the hillside, even if the Saint Night Army had an overwhelming number of troops, they could not besiege the city on a large scale, virtually eliminating any nurical advantage.
As for the central mountain fortress, only a full-scale attack could be launched from the front, further restricting the Saint Night Army’s actions.
“Based on Linda’s intelligence, the garrison inside the mountain fortress mainly consists of General White’s strongest Coldfla Royal Army Corps, totaling over twelve thousand soldiers. The other two small fortresses each have about ten thousand soldiers.”
Pondering and nodding, Leo Ray followed the advancing procession while continuing to contemplate, “This evenly distributed configuration can indeed provide mutual support.
It can be imagined that no matter which fortress the Saint Night Army attacked, when their forces were exhausted, the other two fortresses would send out troops simultaneously, and it goes without saying what the outco would be under such circumstances.”
“Moreover, even if the Eighty Thousand Saint Night Army risked everything to eliminate the Thirty Thousand Coldfla Army, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, losing the ability to march forward.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, “I think this is the reason why the nurically superior Saint Night Army has not launched a full-scale attack.
After all, at this stage, the new Holy Night King is still indecisive, making the reinforcents in the later stages virtually unsecured.”
As Leo Ray pondered to this point, their long procession had reached the vicinity of the mountain fortress.
At this mont, Leo Ray further noticed.
Located directly in front of the mountain fortress was a natural depression, which undoubtedly exacerbated the difficulty of besieging the fortress.
“It must be said, this place is a natural holy land for defense.”
And so, as Leo Ray thought this, he continued to move forward within the procession.
